What Dante Is Trying to Tell Us
A colloquial translation of Paradiso might make people actually read it.
Dante’s Divine Comedy almost joined the ranks of the great unfinished poems in literary history. Dante appeared to Jacopo in a dream and led him to his room in Ravenna. Dante pointed to a hidden recess in the wall: Paradiso lost was found, moldy but intact.

My Life Depends on Playing Chess 40 Times a Day
When I’m moving pieces on a board, I do not think of death.
Together we stepped into the game’s vast universe of possibility, and we did what so much of good existence comes down to: We risked mistakes, we tried for beauty, we played.

Because I know war, I do not want to add more evil to it… After the war, we felt the need to celebrate life, and for me, photography was the way to achieve that.

Noble Dame
Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello
Don’t be afraid to smile and then go
And if you see her talking to herself all alone
Leave her alone, her heart is at home...

A Dream Within A Dream (1987 Remix)
They arise in the soul (alas, how rarely!) only at its epochs of most intense tranquillity — when the bodily and mental health are in perfection — and at those mere points of time where the confines of the waking world blend with those of the world of dreams.

A delicate field of flowers with a soft, dreamy feel. Pale pink-and-white blossoms—again resembling dahlias—rise on slender green stems, with one flower in gentle focus near the center of the frame. Its warm yellow center contrasts subtly with the pastel petals. The surrounding flowers and buds fade into a smooth blur, creating a shallow depth of field that emphasizes calm and lightness. Muted blue-gray tones in the background suggest distant hills or sky, adding to the serene, airy atmosphere of the scene.

A low-angle view of vibrant pink flowers—likely dahlias—in full bloom. The blossoms are large and layered, with rich magenta and pink petals contrasted by fresh green leaves and stems. The camera perspective is from below, looking up toward a bright sky with soft white clouds, which gives the flowers a tall, almost towering presence. In the background, thin poles and wires suggest a cultivated flower field or farm, adding a subtle structural element while keeping the focus on the vivid, natural beauty of the flowers.

I pray to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear. And at the end of my prayers, they teach me how to listen.
